What makes it suitable for passenger side only?

Not much point in having it for drivers mirror, its only a foot away!
The switch will only operate one mirror, it has no changeover switch.

Pity the switch surround wasn't brown, I may have put it on the Sport.
Might keep it for the next project ;)

But sports didn't come with a passenger side mirror anyway!
(I know it was an option etc etc....lol)

Bet it'd do good money on Ebay if I ever decided to sell it.

It looks extremley retro-fit too... although i've never seen a Electric mirror control button in any vauxhall

Fits next to the headlight switch & the surround matches the shape of the headlight switch surround so when its fitted it looks factory. Looks better than standard actually as you dont have the big square blank bit anymore.
Bit like the rectagular bit under the stereo recess on Mk1's for the fader roller for the stereo. Only seen a couple of them actually fitted.

Lazy people that can't be ****d to reach over to the passenger side to adjust the mirror! Plus its very handy to dip the mirror as a reversing aid to stop you kerbing yor alloys
